Assertion : A parallel plate capacitor is connected across battery through a key. A dielectric slab of constant K is introduced between the plates. The energy which is stored becomes K times.
Reason : The surface density of charge on the plate remains constant or unchanged.
  • A
    If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If the assertion and reason both are false.

Assertion : Circuit containing capacitors should be handled cautiously even when there is no current.
Reason : The capacitors are very delicate and so quickly break down..
  • A

Assertion : The lightening conductor at the top of high building has sharp pointed ends.
Reason : The surface density of charge at sharp points is very high resulting in setting up of electric wind.
  •  If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
     If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
     If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
     If the assertion and reason both are false.

Assertion : The force with which one plate of a parallel plate capacitor is attracted towards the other plate is equal to square of surface density per e per unit area.
Reason : The electric field due to one charged plate of the capacitor at the location of the other is equal to surface density per e.
  • A
     If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
     If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
     If assertion is true but reason is false.
